Zimmer's absence seems to be good for Kicker Greg Joseph.
SI writer Raggatz mentioned the Defense could be very good. It is good for the offense to go against a good defense with a great scheme. Like Randall McDaniel going against John Randall in practice every day. They made each other better.
I think the Vikings have the pieces in place, both personnel-wise and coaching-wise, to surprise some people on defense this year. They've got two stout defensive tackles, two great edge rushers, and two experienced inside linebackers controlling the front. If the mix of aging veterans and exciting young players in the secondary comes together and the unit as a whole stays pretty healthy, this Ed Donatell-coached defense could be quite good.
One player who has impressed in camp and made a few more plays on Monday is Hicks, who like Eric Kendricks is entering his eighth NFL season. Hicks forced a couple turnovers during Friday's practice and looked strong against the run on Monday. He also blew up a screen to third-team RB Bryant Koback at one point.
Harrison Phillips and Danielle Hunter also looked very strong against the run, and Hunter got into the backfield with multiple pressures and possibly a sack.
In the secondary, Patrick Peterson made a nice play with an end zone pass breakup against Adam Thielen.
